Rosetta Roastery Cafe★★★ Purist

Rosetta has been roasting small-batch single-origins since 2010, the benchmark for specialty coffee in South Africa. The Bree Street counter is where you find out why.

Origin Coffee Roasting★★★ Purist

Cape Town's benchmark specialty roaster, and the standard every other cafe in the city gets measured against. Order whatever's rotating and trust the process.

Treat Coffee★★ Specialty

The De Waterkant pod of Treat Coffee Roasters brings the Durbanville roastery programme to the city, with farm-named single origins rotating through the bar.
